First Impressions
The tagliatelle al ragù is why it exists. The terrace on Piazza del Popolo in warmer months is one of the best tables in the city.
Dal Bolognese brings the rich cooking of Bologna to a glamorous address on Piazza del Popolo, and it has long been a see-and-be-seen Rome classic — the kind of place where the people-watching on the terrace is as much the point as the food. But the food earns it: the tagliatelle al ragù (the real Bolognese version) is the reason the restaurant exists, and the terrace overlooking Piazza del Popolo in warmer months is one of the best tables in Rome.
What We Loved
The tagliatelle al ragù is the signature — proper Bolognese ragù, the dish to order. The tortellini in brodo is the classic Emilian comfort move.
Glamorous and classic, with a terrace on Piazza del Popolo that's among the city's best warm-weather tables — and prime people-watching.
TAGLIATELLE AL RAGÙ · TORTELLINI IN BRODO
Dal Bolognese is glamorous Rome with serious Emilian cooking behind it — the ragù is the reason, the Piazza del Popolo terrace is the bonus. One of the best tables in the city in warm weather. Go for lunch. The true Italian crowd — business, old money, the regulars — gathers midday. It is the correct time.
Worth Knowing
- 01Book ahead — reservations are essential on weekends and for prime dinner times.
- 02Aim for an earlier seating if you want a calmer room; later tables run louder and longer.
